About the Diploma
Ratatouille and Shrek are just some of the 3D animated movies that have become larger than life on the silver screen. 3D animation is bringing fantasy to life, in ways that we might never have imagined before. It is revolutionising our cinematic, advertorial and even learning experience.
If you have a story to tell and want to ‘wow’ millions of people with your creativity, then the Diploma in Multimedia & Animation (MMA) should be your choice.
MMA prepares you for the world of 3D and interactive animation so you can communicate your ideas through well-conceptualised, well-designed and entertaining content, services and applications to the world. What’s more, with the emphasis on compiling a professional portfolio, you will be more than ready for an exciting career in the creative industry.
You will get a strong grounding of skills required of interactive media professionals. Unique to the course is a balanced foundation in the arts, design and digital media technologies. In the second year, you can opt to specialise in either Digital Animation or Interactive Media (entertainment-rich media). In your final year, your expertise will be further developed through project management where you will be engaged in all areas from concept to budgeting and implementation - skills that will serve you well when you enter the job market or choose to become an entrepreneur.
You will benefit from ICT’s close links with industry partners like the Singapore Animators Connection and the Media Development Authority of Singapore – who work alongside the School to design the course and ensure that you will have access to the latest trends and developments in the creative industry.
Career Prospects
The MMA course develops your talents holistically from thinking, conceptualising to development skills. You can work as an entertainment-rich interactive media designer/developer, visual interface designer, 2D and 3D animator, 3D modeller and rigger, just to name a few. You will be well-equipped to carve a name for yourself by applying your newly-acquired skills to the world of 2D or 3D animation in television or movies, video, e-learning, PC online as well as interactive arts and edutainment.
You might just find yourself working with international corporations like Pixar, Lucas Film or DreamWorks in the future! Or you might find yourself starting up a high-potential creative set-up, developing your own interactive media titles.
